Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, EMDR

Change and transformation are a constant, inevitable and ongoing part of life, at times we need support. Through deep conversations, you'll develop healthy coping skills and new ways of thinking, to help you get through challenges. You'll learn to identify negative feelings (such as feeling overwhelmed, sad, angry, anxious, depressed, stuck, afraid, stagnant, traumatized, in pain, reactive, resentful) and make shifts to improve your life. Therapy is a process of self discovery, growth and healing, developing your strengths, and releasing that which no longer serves you.

Psychologist, PhD, LCAT, BC-DMT
Verified
With many excellent therapists to choose from, it may be difficult to know who would be a good fit for you. I strive to develop a comfortable environment in which you can explore the issues that concern you, consider the alternatives that can bring you closer to the life you want to live, discover your inner resources and skills and transform them into action that can help you fulfill your goals and dreams. My practice focuses on general psychotherapy issues such as depression, general anxiety, and traumatic experience.
Donna E Friedman
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
I view therapy as a collaborative process that facilitates communication, problem-solving and self-exploration, which leads to lasting change in relationships and life. As a clinical psychologist in practice for over 27 years, I have learned that while no single type of therapy works for everyone, a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship is essential to achieving growth and change. We use this relationship to learn about how you feel and behave in other significant relationships. Therapy becomes a place to try new ways of communicating and to develop new ways of seeing things. Ultimately, therapy leads to taking healthy risks in relationships and life.

As a therapist with an extensive background in women’s issues, my clientele includes mothers who are experiencing anxiety, overwhelm and feelings of burn-out. Additional presenting concerns include guilt, resentment and rage, not feeling like "yourself" and feeling as though you are not a good mom or can’t keep it together like “all the other moms.” I also work with young adult women who struggle with people pleasing, setting healthy boundaries with others, relationship issues and intergenerational trauma.
Janet E. Weisberg
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW-R
Verified
Today's lifestyle is plagued with many stressors which often impinge on our ability to accomplish goals. I believe therapy should provide an environment where coping skills needed to handle those stressors can be learned. I encourage the ideas of self-empowerment and independence. I strive to create a safe and confidential atmosphere where clients learn the skills which will promote individual success. In my opinion, therapy should provide an opportunity for growth which results in a higher level of self-satisfaction.
Michelle Hogan
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, MFT
Verified
Psychotherapy can be a deeply nourishing gift to allow oneself. It is valuable to afford ourselves the time and space to be heard, seen, and understood. It can also be an opportunity to do the inner work and skill building that is necessary for us to unfold toward our truest potential. In times of crisis therapy can be a life line, keeping us connected to a light in the dark. Grounded in psychodynamic, somatic and intersubjective theories Michelle's work investigates the relationship between emotion, body and psyche. Issues related to relationships, parenting, trauma, and more may be explored.

Judith A. Jordan
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, PhD, LCSW
Verified
I offer psychotherapy and addiction counseling to individuals, couples, and families. I work with clients from a relational perspective to break old patterns of thinking and behavior that are often ingrained and have become habitual and unfulfilling. These faulty ways of thinking and behaving often result in non productive and sometimes destructive relationships, with ourselves and our partners, as well as the way we see ourselves in the world . I work with my clients to create a new narrative for themselves and to move forward in their lives with integrity and dignity.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. By searching for a therapist you have taken the first step to exploring your story. My approach to therapy is a wholistic and systemic approach. I work with individuals from the understanding that we are all impacted greatly by our families and the environment in which we live. I also focus on working with families and couples to improve a healthy relationship that is mutually beneficial. I work with my clients on enhancing their strengths and working through challenges to live the life that they deserve.

Through my experiences as a social work professional the last decade, I have worked with many individuals and areas of practice. My specialties include anxiety, depression, mindfulness techniques, self-esteem, adults with traumatic brain injuries, behavior modification for individuals 10+, and young adults with Autism.

Catherine Jannuzzi
Art Therapist, MA, ATR-BC, LCAT

Art therapy has a lot to offer adults and older adults who are looking to improve how they cope and adapt to difficult challenges and events. For those creative and not, art therapy is an active form of psychotherapy where you can express and process difficult issues where words fall short. If you are seeking help for depression, anxiety, pain management, grief, coping with life transitions, self-esteem/self confidence issues, or difficulty coping with medical challenges, this form of treatment can be highly effective. I also specialize in working with older adults and people affected by dementia.
